Back in probably 2001 I bought a Medion notebook. It has really surprising specs for its price and, surprise surprise, it had full Linux support (this was more than 20 years ago!).

It as probably one of the top 5 acquisitions of my life.

Same, except for the graphical chipset (from SIS, iirc) for which no drivers existed for 3D acceleration. But the chipset was shitty anyway, so it was not a real issue.

It was a huge blue and grey plastic brick. Pretty heavy. Not really ugly but not designed to be pretty.
